There is one where one teenage guy is shaving his teenage friend's back and they make a sort of joke out of how weird the friend is. I don't get the point of educating people by making light of mental illness by making a joke out of it because the joke might be "cool" and get the attention of young Feminist Voice with Disabilitieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04971702402040080054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6060627539063061936.post-38497719524091914162010-12-27T07:03:20.959-05:002010-12-27T07:03:20.959-05:00I don't understand how mental illness can be s...I don't understand how mental illness can be seen as cool at all. I'm 19 so I'm not that long out of high school and I remember keeping my mental health issues completely hidden for years and being so afraid other students would find out. Why would anyone want to have a mental illness anyway- having one has cost me so much.Cassiehttp://willfindhope.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6060627539063061936.post-76918487647439025542010-12-26T22:44:37.905-05:002010-12-26T22:44:37.905-05:00That's so disheartening.

Their opinion really makes light of what we go through - of our pain, our struggles, our constant challenges. It kind-of reminds me of how sometimes little kids think having a cast on a broken arm would be cool, they don't see the pain or discomfort, just a cool cast that people can write on.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12057717871998437317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6060627539063061936.post-73382456663840356042010-12-25T22:53:30.593-05:002010-12-25T22:53:30.593-05:00I don't see how ANYONE can see mental illness ...I don't see how ANYONE can see mental illness as glamorous.

You're also not held to the same standards as others.
